A Different Reception Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

A Different Reception



Why is it so many view themselves,
Through self-indulgent eyes?
To perceive their misdeeds,
Whenever they were committed...
Insist with time passed,
Their doings done to others...
Should automatically be forgotten.
Or at least be forgiven.

'Wassup? What's happenin'? '

To then become offended,
When those they have victimized...
Should 'now' apologize for THEIR rude actions.
Or give a consideration to their noticed temperments.
And not give an impression,
They have no interest in discussing what took place...
Or when or the reasons of why those past events...
To be patched up to mend with a making of sense.
Although what had been done was with intention meant.

An effective betrayal just not fade away to make okay!
Nor do those emotions that linger to come reminisced...
Do so with a welcomed hospitality to give,
When they arrive unexpectedly to confront a bitterness...
Still felt no matter how long the time,
Spent between their uninvited visits.

~WHAT do 'you' want?
And make it quick.~

'I expected a different reception,
Than to have...

A door slammed.
In my face!
Uh...uh...
Maybe,
Another time would be better?
Hello?
